Actor

It's very difficult to pretend you're throwing a car.

My mother is British; she's from Shrewsbury. She turned me onto 'Monty Python' very early.

Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.

People like Bill Murray are incredible at what they do and are definitely my flavour. Although Will Ferrell, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ricky Gervais are also incredible actors. In their comedy, they make these stupid people feel so real. These guys are really setting the bar very high, and I learn as much from them about acting as I do about comedy.

My father was a writer/director/producer, so instead of throwing a ball around, our bonding was going to see movies. And at an early age, I knew if I wanted to impress my dad, it was not going to be by throwing a ball real far.

Will Arnett is one of the funniest guys I know. He has seen it all and done it all and come out the other end pretty savvy and pretty strong.

When you're playing a supporting character, you don't really have a lot of control of the quality of the film.

A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.

Television is much more of a producer's writer's medium, so a lot of the time, when you're directing a television show, they have a color palette on set or a visual style and dynamic that's already been predetermined, and you just kind of have to follow the rules.

Not many get a chance to hit the career re-set button.

My father was a freelance writer/director/producer, and my mother was a stewardess for Pan-Am. It was very non-traditional.

I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face.

Our kids will never have to remember things, because it's all in pictures. Want to remember your fourth birthday? There'll be video of it on your phone.

Not a lot of people get a second chance. And I think for a while there, my name kind of got in my way a bit, based on all of the television I was fortunate enough to do. But after a while, you sort of wear out your welcome in that genre, in that medium.

In most professions, if you stay at the office an extra four hours every day, you're gonna impress the boss. You're gonna get that promotion; you're gonna get that raise. You're gonna at least have job security. But with acting, if you're really ambitious and you have a good work ethic and are really good at your job, it might not really matter.

If people are going to complain about stereotyping, it's as likely to be Italian-Americans as gay people.

Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn't do it.

Do you want to continue being great at being in your twenties, or do you want to step up and graduate into adulthood?

I just love doing sitcoms. I'd be in them till I was gray if they'd have me.
